21 28.6407The others,29.2382 
23 29.6547because they associate with me, and other32.0080

129 126.6253They're trying127.2998 
131 127.6370to impress. They're trying to impress129.4392 
133 129.7324their neighbors with how liberal they really are. You know, twenty dollar this.132.9215 
135 133.2354And their neighbors are doing it because they're trying to impress them, and so on and so forth. It's no real137.5388

139 139.6415these people aren't different.141.0307 
141 141.2140It's just that these people are different, but we don't anybody to [know it, you know?]144.5593 
142DCA_int_01143.8620[<laugh>]145.1019
143DCA_se3_ag1_m_02145.0244That's-145.5711
144DCA_int_01145.9046Yeah. [/unintelligible/]147.1656
145DCA_se3_ag1_m_02146.2199Unfortunately, that's the feeling I get,148.0073
146 148.2969but148.4802
148 148.6965honestly, the majority of the students at our school are real good about this. They-151.5300 
150 152.2324Most of 'em-152.9252 
152 153.7463Unfortunately, this is another thing.155.4691 
154 155.8050They-156.0909 
156 156.8937they work more157.8284

160 159.0894helping the Negro students, and it's poor people's campaign, you know,162.2148 
162 162.4017trying to get food for the poor people.164.0952 
164 164.4678They do more work in it, then165.9560 
166 166.3776the middle class Negroes of our school do168.2727 
168 168.5586because they feel169.3100

172 171.6876about172.1165 
174 172.6847what their ancestors have done,174.1546 
176 174.7067what's going on now, and they want somehow,176.6532 
178 176.8328someway to help.177.6795 
180 178.1304Therefore, they do a lot more toward this-179.8666 
182 180.3651work-180.6400 
184 180.9149in-181.0579 
186 181.2302That's where majority of the students at our school are.183.3768 
188 183.7141We don't really184.3336 
190 185.2170recognize as much as-186.5952 
192 186.9128Say at a public school, you would recognize that person was white. We don't189.9222 
194 190.0982do it half as much,191.1539 
196 191.5241but there still are a small minority192.9120 
198 193.5498who193.8211 
200 194.4039they're-194.6642 
202 194.8291I don't think there's anyone at our school who would be196.5446

206DCA_se3_ag1_m_02198.5593You'd- he'd cover it up some way, but there are a small minority201.4062
208 202.0550who are kind of sly about it.203.2720 
210 203.8841And it's204.4376 
212 204.5989fairly obvious205.4456 
214 205.8439who they are. You can206.7273

353DCA_se3_ag1_m_02346.9824[And it's]-347.3123
354 347.4552kind of frightening sometimes, especially when it's the first time.349.9250
356 350.8226And it's- I think I was351.7903

360 352.8276twelve- No, I was thirteen.353.9273 
362 354.9413And, it just so happened, I had been on two hikes before,357.5989 
364 357.9604you know, just regular hikes. They weren't anything spectacular.360.3944 
366 360.9259Then all of a sudden,361.6957 
368 362.1246we decided we were going363.2815

380 371.3518it was a good371.8797 
382 373.0073Uh, I'd say it was about a hundred and fifty feet up.375.4999

385DCA_int_01378.2620Yeah.378.4998
386DCA_se3_ag1_m_02378.8599it looked like it me on my way up there.380.7220
388 381.6078So the leader led the way, and I was somewhere in the middle,383.9134 
390 385.3013and somehow,386.1518 
392 386.7749I don't know- every time I looked back down,388.3145 
394 389.0329I got that feeling as if something was gonna happen.391.2236 
395DCA_int_01391.3995Hm.391.6121
396DCA_se3_ag1_m_02392.1693I don't know. I made it up though,393.3056
